Best Lake Conroe Fishing Guide

Fishing with a guide on Lake Conroe offers a unique opportunity to fish one of the most beautiful lakes in Texas. The shorelines on the South and Near North end of the Lake are dotted with many beautiful homes. Many of these areas provide a unique fishing experience around the bulkheaded shoreline and in and around the boat docks and boat stalls. All of these areas provide excellent cover for the many species of fish that populate the Lake.

The Sam Houston National Forest extends down to the shoreline on the North end of Lake Conroe. These beautiful wooded areas are home to all kinds of wildlife and many different species of local birds and migratory birds during certain times of the year.

Lake Conroe Licensed Fishing Guides

I will take you on a memory-making guided Lake Conroe fishing trip of a lifetime. Fishing for various types of fish and creating those memories only a few dare to dream. People of all ages and experience levels have been for some of the most enjoyable days of their fishing lives.

I have been a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department licensed Lake Conroe fishing guide since 1997 and fishing competitively since 1986 in Bass tournaments. I pride myself in being able to adapt to the many challenges on the water throughout the day; and specialize in teaching people various techniques on how to fish and learn more about the lake in order to help them catch fish consistently every time they go.

Most people think of Lake Conroe as Houston’s play ground; for pleasure boating, jet skiing, and just cruising around the lake.

A guided catfishing trip with us on Lake Conroe is always exciting and full of fun, and we guarantee you a nice mess of catfish to take home on our full day trips!

Fishing Lake Conroe offers a large variety of fish and it is all within 50 miles of Houston. Black Bass, Hybrid Striper’s, Crappie, Catfish, and White Bass. My Lake Conroe guide trips are designed to cater to you. If you want to catch Black Bass my tournament experience will help us find as many fish as possible. When it comes to the Hybrid Stripers I probably catch more of them on a consistent basis than any other fishing guide on Lake Conroe. Crappie fishing is a matter of catching them when they are on my brush piles. Since 1986 I’ve put on an average 100 trees in Lake Conroe each year in order to keep the fish in the most productive areas. This also allows me to search various areas to locate the most productive depths. Catfish; Lake Conroe is one of the premier channel catfish lakes in the state.

Lake Conroe Fishing offers a wide variety for different times of the year. I’m a firm believer in teaching a person to fish in order to feed them for a lifetime instead of giving them a fish and feeding them for a day.

Fish in Lake Conroe

Lake Conroe has an abundance of Black Bass, White Bass, Hybrid Bass, Catfish, Bream & Crappie.

We have provided you with the chart below as a quick reference to identify and know the difference between “White Bass” and “Hybrid Bass”. There has been some confusion on the part of many fishermen in the past. The sure fire way to be sure what kind of fish you have is to examine the ‘tooth patch’ as identified below. Be sure you have the correct fish in your livewell. The Hybrid Bass must be 18 inches in length in order to be a legal fish in your livewell. The White Bass only has to be 10 inches to be a legal fish in your livewell.

Lake Conroe Fishing Report

Black Bass: Black Bass fishing is picking up on Lake Conroe this month. Some very good catches are coming in on deep diving crankbaits. Crank baits in shad, chrome and chartreuse are working. Midday try deeper water with worms. White and chartreuse spinnerbaits will also take a few fish especially on the north end of the lake and along riprap. Worms in black/blue, pumpkinseed and plum are all taking fish during the middle of the day in 15 to 25 feet around brush or other submerged structure. On the North End fish are moving to the 5 to 10 foot depths and can be caught on soft plastics in Black/blue, Tequila and Pumpkin colors.

White Bass: White Bass action is slow on Lake Conroe. September should bring some of the years best action for Whites. To locate Whites troll small deep diving crankbaits in Chrome, White or Chartreuse over main lake humps, ridges and points keeping an eye on your electronics for the bait or brush. Look for schooling action in late afternoon and cast small crankbaits into the schools from as far out ass you can cast. When they go down jig the bottom with 1/2 and 1/4 ounce chrome and chartreuse spoons.

Crappie: Crappie are also slightly slow but should also be picking up soon. They can be found with your electronics by cruising main lake points at depths of 25-35 feet until you locate submerged brush or trees. Some are still in the 15-20 foot range. Minnows are the most effective of catching them, but they can also be caught on 1/8 ounce spinner baits and Beetle Spins. Good luck and good fishing. Remember to take home just enough for dinner. Leave the rest for seed.
